    COJ #107 - Amanda Knox On Trauma, True Crime Storytelling and Ethical Reporting

    Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell sit down with Amanda Knox to talk about true crime, journalism, media ethics and finding clarity in a world where facts aren’t enough to persuade someone of the truth. In 2007, Seattle resident Amanda Knox was a 20-year-old studying abroad in Perugia, Italy, when the worst happened: A man broke into the apartment she shared with three other women and brutally raped and murdered her roommate: British student Meredith Kercher. The town’s unscrupulous police agency immediately — and wrongly — put all their energy into making Amanda into a suspect no matter how many times the evidence told them otherwise. To make matters worse, they colluded with a tabloid reporter to paint Amanda out to be a “femme fatale” and fed the reporter made-up stories about what happened the night of Meredith’s murder. And the public was only too happy to take part in the resulting frenzy that was almost entirely born out of these men’s sexual fantasies about Amanda. Though she’s since been acquitted on appeal and completely exonerated by Italy’s high court, Amanda continues to grapple with backlash from those who have trouble accepting her innocence. But her focus isn’t on them. It’s on finding clarity amid the chaos and the injustice. Amanda, who is now a journalist, hosts the “Labyrinths” podcast with her husband, author and poet Chris Robinson. She is a mom of two, an author and an advocate for the wrongfully accused. Her latest book, “Free: My Search for Meaning” is available for pre-sale and will be released in March 2025. Her book Waiting To Be Heard, a NYT best seller, tells the full story of her harrowing ordeal in Italy—a labyrinthine nightmare of crime and punishment, innocence and vindication—and of the unwavering support of family and friends who tirelessly worked to help her win her freedom. Between 2007 and 2015, she spent nearly four years in an Italian prison and eight years on trial for a murder she didn’t commit. She has since become an advocate for criminal justice reform and media ethics. She sits on the advisory council for the Frederick Douglass Project for Justice and serves as an Innocence Network Ambassador. 🥽 Let's Dive In... 🦈 Learn more about Amanda Knox: Labyrinths with Amanda Knox Pre-Order Free: My Search for Meaning, by Amanda Knox AmandaKnox.com @amandaknox On Twitter / X @amamaknox On Instagram Episode Resources: Amanda Knox Documentary on Netflix Labyrinths #64 - Blood Money - Part 1: One Bloody Thing After Another Monster Unknown, A Series by Liz Farrell Stillwater Movie Call Her Daddy Podcast Featuring Amanda Knox: “I didn’t fucking do it.” (FBF) The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion by Jonathan Haidt Alerts: And Eric Bland's New Book Anything But Bland is available now!!  Plus, Mandy's book, Blood on Their Hands Paperback releases today Tuesday, November 26!

    COJ #106 - Russell Laffitte’s Conviction Was Vacated… But What Does That Mean For Murdaugh & Company? + Why The Gilley Case In Texas Just Got Bigger

    After Alex Murdaugh’s banker buddy Russell Laffitte was given a new trial, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell — and attorney Eric Bland — take a look at what went into the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision to vacate the conviction of Alex Murdaugh’s banker buddy Russell Laffitte and discuss what they expect to see in the future. When will Russell’s retrial be held? Will Judge Richard Gergel — whose error led to this mess — still be the judge in the case? And what does this mean for the victims? Also on the show, the Egg Lady Juror asks the court to reconsider her request to be part of Alex’s murder conviction appeal. Plus, Mandy, Liz and Eric start their preparations for the Lee Gilley case in Houston, Texas. Lee — who originally told police that his wife died by suicide, according to reports — has been charged with capital murder for the strangulation death of Christa Bauer Gilley, who was nine weeks pregnant at the time. This past week, we broke the news that Lee had hired Dick DeGuerin to be the lead attorney on his defense team. Dick — much like another Dick we know — has a reputation that precedes him, and not just because of his reported skills in the courtroom. Dick DeGuerin has represented the likes of David Koresh and — of all people — Robert Durst, who famously confessed to three murders during the making of the docuseries “The Jinx.” Stay posted on Eric Bland's New Book Anything But Bland or Pre-Order Today: https://amzn.to/4eH6LQJ 🥽 Let's Dive In... 🦈 Episode Resources: Officials believe a missing kayaker likely faked his death and fled the country The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst (HBO) The Great Defenders - How did natty, flashy Dick DeGuerin and his quiet, determined brother, Mike, become two of the best lawyers in Texas?  Presumed Guilty Podcast with Dick DeGuerin Premium Members also get access to episode videos, case files, live trial coverage and exclusive live experiences with our hosts.

    COJ #105: JP Miller’s (Much Deserved) Night in Jail + Monkey Madness in Murdaugh Country

    On today's episode, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell — and attorney Eric Bland — talk about yet another piece of good news in the Mica Francis case: Her husband JP Miller’s arrest... After months of squaring off with protesters outside his (now closed) church in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina — and just one week after the FBI raided his house — JP Miller lost his cool in public and was arrested for third-degree assault and battery. Why? Because a woman said “Here, Kitty Kitty” to him. Also on the show, Colleton County Sheriff’s Office loses key evidence, leading to the exoneration of Craig Lewis, a man accused of raping, beating and burning his wife to death. Was it corruption or incompetence? Plus, all heck broke loose in the Lowcountry last week when 43 young female macaque monkeys escaped a lab right in the heart of Murdaugh Country. Monkeys, you say? Didn’t the Egg Lady Juror work on a monkey farm? She sure did. And she’s not the only Murdaugh connection to the story.

    COJ #104: FBI Raids Pastor JP Miller’s House, Another Big Loss for Alex Murdaugh + Bowen Turner Back on the Streets

    Talk about great timing... Just as investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell — and attorney Eric Bland — were getting together Friday to record, the FBI was in the middle of raiding the home of Myrtle Beach Pastor JP Miller. Six months ago, JP’s wife, Mica Francis, was found dead in a North Carolina swamp, purportedly a victim of suicide. Since then Cup of Justice, True Sunlight Podcast and other news media have kept a steady spotlight on JP as the ugly truth emerged about what Mica’s life looked like leading up to her death. What does the FBI raid mean for JP and the accusations that he was abusing Mica through coercive control? What assumptions can we make about his future now that the FBI has made it clear that they believe there’s something to investigate? Also on today’s show, Alex Murdaugh and the Egg Lady Posse see another big loss, putting a dent in their propaganda machine as they conspire to get Alex’s murder conviction overturned. Plus, why the Menendez Brothers case is about more than who deserves parole in America. And Bowen Turner’s lawyer says he’s been rehabilitated. Can we trust that now that Bowen’s back on the streets?

    COJ #103 - The Wildest Story of Attorney Corruption Ever Told .. With Special Guest and Former OJ Simpson Prosecutor Marcia Clark

    This week on “Cup of Justice” join investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell as they sit down with former OJ Simpson prosecutor Marcia Clark, who is host of the “Informants: Lawyer X” podcast now on Wondery. “Informants: Lawyer X” tells the (unbelievably wild and very true) story of an Australian defense attorney — Nicola Gobbo — who played both sides of the criminal justice system. Gobbo represented some of Melbourne’s biggest (alleged) criminals while also serving as a top informant for law enforcement. In other words, Gobbo was defending her clients while also telling on them. Mandy and Liz talk to Marcia Clark about what makes the Gobbo case so egregious and so unlike any other ethical lapses involving attorneys that we have ever seen. They also discuss the Menendez Brothers case, as well as the OJ Simpson case and how that case might have played if it happened in the age of podcasts and TikTok.  Also on the show, Mandy and Liz talk about what they’re seeing in the Christa Bauer Gilley case out of Houston, as well as thrice-accused rapist Bowen Turner, who is expected to be released from prison on Halloween.  Premium Members also get a discussion on the Menendez brothers' re-sentencing and the broader implications for abuse victims.

    Investigative journalists Mandy Matney, Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland — talk about Mandy’s wild encounter with an Uber driver who was a law enforcement officer in Marion, Kansas, and who … didn’t think the police raid on The Marion County Record and the related death of its editor’s 90-year-old mother were problematic or illegal? Good thing, quick-thinking David thought to record the conversation.  Also on the show, the Diddy case keeps getting more twisted as more victims come forward. How did it get this far without anyone stopping him? Were his lawyers complicit in the abuse? And who else was involved? It’s time to name them all and shame them all. They also touched on the importance of public trials and the role of cameras in courtrooms, highlighting the need for transparency and accountability.  Premium members also get a conversation updating us on Buster's defamation case as the defendants continue to fight back and discredit his claims.

    COJ #101 - Exposing The Underbelly Of Rigged Insurance: From Alex Murdaugh’s Nautilus Case To Hurricane Helene

    On our 101st Cup of Justice podcast episode we tackle how the insurance and legal systems are rigged against consumers in the wake of disaster, how this benefits certain parties (like insurance companies and lawyers), and how the Murdaugh family and their associates exploited these systems for their gain. Specifically, the case of Hampton County, South Carolina, and its reputation for large settlements and verdicts, potentially due to corruption and the influence of powerful figures like the Murdaughs. It raises the question of whether the county's legal system is truly a "hellhole" for those seeking justice. We also look at the role of John Grantland, Alex Murdaugh's attorney in the Satterfield case, who admitted to smelling a trap but proceeded with the settlement anyway. It raises questions about Nautilus' actions and in the scheme - especially now that they are pursuing Alex to get their 3.8 million dollars back... about which we are skeptical to say the least. Premium Members also get to hear a conversation about negotiating the best deal in your own purchases and certain judges connected to these cases.

  • Previously known as the Murdaugh Murders Podcast, True Sunlight is the intersection of True Crime, journalism and systematic corruption.  Celebrated journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are taking their style of reporting beyond Alex Murdaugh and his co-conspirators. We expose the truth wherever it leads giving voice to victims like Mica Francis, Sara Lynn Colucci, and Christa Gilley, while still pursuing justice for all the victims you've met so far like Stephen Smith, Dallas Stoller, and others. True Sunlight is the antithesis of True crime. True Sunlight values accuracy over "access journalism". True Sunlight is shed with empathy — not exploitation. True Sunlight was created as a matter of public service — not just entertainment. While the name of the podcast has changed, our mission, values and team have not. We are simply expanding our horizons while continuing to shine a much needed bright light on crime and corruption wherever it appears. Ranked #1 and #2 globally in 2021 and 2023 respectively as the Murdaugh Murders Podcast, True Sunlight provides unmatched insight into the crimes and criminals exposed on MMP and dives deep into new instances of where crime meets corruption across the US. We empower listeners to understand their legal and judicial systems through investigative journalism while providing tools to hold agencies and public figures accountable in order to change those systems for the better.  Listen on any streaming service or visit TrueSunlight.com to learn more.  Premium Members also get access to searchable case files, written articles with documents, case photos, episode videos and exclusive live experiences with our hosts on lunasharkmedia.com all in one place. CLICK HERE to learn more: https://bit.ly/3BdUtOE.

  • For nearly 100 years, one family traded influence and held power in the South Carolina lowcountry until a fatal boat crash involving an allegedly intoxicated heir-apparent shed sunlight on a true crime saga like no other.  Award-winning journalist Mandy Matney has been investigating the Murdaugh family since that fateful night in 2019. The now-infamous Murdaugh family is at the center of a litany of criminal investigations into fraud, obstruction of justice, the 2021 double homicides of Paul Murdaugh and his mother Maggie, the 2015 murder of young Stephen Smith, the suicide-for-hire plot of family patriarch Alex Murdaugh (who has since been convicted of Paul & Maggie’s murders) and a vast insurance scheme that preyed on the region's most vulnerable citizens. Matney's podcast, ranked #1 globally in 2021, provides unmatched insight into the horrific deaths, botched investigations and newly-uncovered crimes that are all interconnected.  Every corner of the justice system seems to be connected to this vile web of deceit, murder and corruption. Later featuring Co-host Liz Farrell, you’ll follow along in real time from South Carolina as their exclusive sources guide listeners on a journey to expose the truth wherever it leads.
